Lenses manufactured with uncompromising devotion to high image quality The production process for Lumix G and LEICA DG lenses is conducted in ‘clean rooms’ to rigorous environmental standards. Now acclaimed worldwide, our UA3P Ultra-Accurate 3D Profilometer, with its measurement accuracy of 1/10,000mm, gives objective numerical evaluations and detects flaring, colour coatings and the ‘feel’ of the focus ring.An original lens-drive motor for high-precision high-speed contrast AF Lumix G and Leica DG lenses incorporate a unique ‘stepping motor’ with a screw unit in the motor shaft that moves the focus lens directly, without relay gears or cams. Information transfers from lens to camera faster, making auto focus swift and accurate with reduced drive noise for better movie recording.

Aspherical lenses These lenses prevent spherical and distortion aberrations, so higher magnification can be achieved with fewer lenses. Resulting in smaller size and weight, these lenses feature the high dimensional accuracy of Panasonic’s cutting-edge production technologies, including concave lenses that measure just 0.3mm at their thinnest part.
